No Neurodivergent Infighting Here

HAPPY TRANS DAY OF VISIBILITY EVERYONE!! I am closeted but I tried to celebrate today by drawing and having a good time as best as I could. Here's the drawing I made with my trans oc!!

cw- drawn sh scars, not a vent post just a part of the character

(The text says happy TDOV; don't let the bastards win!)

[ID: a drawing by OP of his zombie oc; he's wearing headphones, a torn shirt, a binder, cargo pants, and is waving a trans pride flag. Nico, the oc, has brown hair and is smiling slightly. /END ID]

Knowing that trans women of color started the movement in the united states and were literally immediately erased and excluded from what they started is the most deeply jading knowledge.

It is the original sin of the so-called queer community and it damns it from the cradle.

Today fucking sucked

Misgendered constantly, had to deal with my annoying bible thumping counselor being queerphobic, and I had to admit I wasn’t straight at my appointment (they ask for your sexuality for some fucking reason, I lied at first but my grandma said “be honest” so I told them the truth after that.)

Could someone please use my name (August) in a sentence with my pronouns (he/him/it) I’m not feeling too great rn.

Adding my favorite stims that I do!! Idk if some of them are technically stims but I figured I’d add them anyway :) also I’m autistic btw

Listening to music, swinging on my web swing (doing both rn!), snapping fingers (this is a new one but it’s pleasing to my brain), walking and dancing at the same time (hard to explain, but I kinda do an interpretive dance while I walk?? It looks strange but it brings me joy), spinning, singing/lip syncing, bouncing leg, fidget toys (slime/putty, infinity cube, magnets), chewing gum/chew necklaces, flexing my stomach, blinking fast, humming, cracking knuckles, sighing, inhaling (with nose), touching soft stuff, pacing, and more I can’t really remember right now. Some are more situational, but I enjoy all of them!

stimming is a self-soothing behavior that can be used to calm down feelings of stress, anxiety, overwhelming emotions, or physical discomfort. stimming is a natural, and healthy behavior, and it is important to allow others to stim when they need to. i am a nonspeaking autistic AAC user, and i stim a lot because it is a helpful way to regulate my emotions, and a way for me to express myself. stimming is a beautiful, and essential part of who i am, and i am proud to call myself a stimmer!

this speaking as a cis person. Nothing brings me more joy seeing people find gender euphoria in becoming a mediocre representation of humanity. And I mean that so genuinely. Local boy finds joy and fulfillment wearing a cargo shorts and t-shirt combo. Local girl has transitioned to look like someone's disheveled aunt, has never been happier. Local person experiences gender euphoria rocking the world's worst bowl-cut. Without a scap of irony, this shit makes me see the wonder and whimsy in just, being a human. An average, person going through their day-to-day, is a wondrous thing? That's amazing. And heteronormativity has stripped these experiences of their joy. Like you're right, wearing a basic girlypop skirt should make my heart sing. Why not? Why are these expressions lesser because they're normal? All this to say. Shoutout to all the basic bitches out there. Yes that polo shirt does make you look like a divorced golfer dad. Yes, that too is kind of a slay, now that I think of it.

My grandpa is constantly watching fox news and they said something like "it's common sense" for ""biological men"" to not be considered women. It's poisoning his fucking brain, it's hurting people, and it's hurting me as well.

I am going to fucking strangle someone. I hate fox news, I hate the uk rn even though I don't live there.

For all my people in the uk, holy shit i am so sorry.

The fucking audacity of the judge to say that ruling the definition of woman is based purely on biological sex “is not a triumph of one side over another.”

As if this hasn’t just fucking decimated trans rights in the UK, made transphobia practically law and blatantly supporting the work of groups like the LGB Alliance.

How fucking dare they.

Remade that one tumblr post (you know the one) as a pvz comic. This took. So fucking long.

Dr Zomboss brainrot is killing me

Ty! Interesting info :)

Hey there! What's PDA autism? I'm autistic as well, but I don't think I've heard that term. Appreciate it!

PDA stands for Pathological Demand Avoidance! There are better community made terms but i can't remember them!

Anyways, PDA autism is basically an insane drive for control and to manage your life yourself it's a drive for autonomy!

Basically PDA autistics have a hard time following orders and demand wether it's directly from someone or from a social contruct (e.g.: having to clean your room because the norm is to have a clean room)

At least thats my understanding :)
